Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Enough with these fucking traitors. When will we do what must be done?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

It's not a legitimate org or party, doesn't matter who runs it, still needs to be dismantled and worst offenders held accountable.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

Yeah, and she's an unemotional objective observer on the matter.

😂 😆

I mean go ahead. Let Trump empty their coffers, so they can't run the next election either. Just sounds like Republicans screwing each other, so I'm all for it.

While it would be great to bleed the RNC dry, part of the problem is how much free publicity the media gives this guy.

In 2020, they gave him a ridiculous amount of free attention.

It doesn't matter. Minds were made up long ago on Trump himself, it's even literally a rematch.

Trump can drain the RNC dry, with any luck they lose Congress seats by being outspent.

You've understated how much the RNC will simply become a Trump-family slush fund. Otherwise I think you're spot on.

Does it matter that the GOP donors will pay his legal fees? That just means less money to campaign.

Im not sure it should be legal though. I am no longer a democrat so I have nothing on the line, but I'd still be frustrated if Biden was using DNC funds for personal shit

LOL so you are telling me he is actively committing crimes in the open that can be investigated and potentially tried in the coming years? Can this man even get out of bed in the morning without committing a crime?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago

No, please don't. I'm just a teary-eyed snowflake liberal and if they did this, it would just devastate me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Many Trump supporters want that.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Nothing but the most extreme grifting will suffice.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago

I think at least half of the GOP would like it if Lara Trump started using those DSLs to earn some extra cash.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Yes, let the grift reach it's climax so we can laugh at it for the foreseeable future.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 8 months ago (1 children)

She's right, I definitely want to see the RNC piss it's money away on a massive loser.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

I'm voting for the destruction of the GOP, is that close enough?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

The only voters who don't want that are the GOP mega donors.

Everyone else seems to be on board, I'll even bring the shovels and protective gear. Chucking all that cash into the furnace is going to be hottttt.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago

I'd like to see them do that too.

Please do that.

Drain the entire war chest.

Not a single dollar for ad buys anywhere in the country.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So you're saying we can separate the idiots from their money AND guarantee none of that money goes to GOP campaigning?

Sounds like a good deal to me.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Imagine if the justice system worked and he was declared an enemy of the state as attempting to steal the presidency should be a crime against the state.

Paying any legal fees would be considered giving aid to an enemy of the state. Aka, an act of treason

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Even more of a reason for them to give him money, the more of them locked up the better.
